Football Gods if you’re listening please do keep him (and everyone else) healthy and motivated to ensure getting thru an 18 game schedule including 2-3 playoff games. Much appreciated.

We got Jake to teach them now

I liked Jenkins every bit as much as Jaworski in that one game. High hopes for both...

Having Ceresna will certainly help in the disruption department. If two of our rookie DE's can show they are ready for a starter/rotational roles that would be very helpful as well. I really like what Jaworski did in his only showing last year. He is the guy I will be very interested in watching in TC. That probably gives him the kiss of death, but so be it.

Yep. I love what jy and hall, but that is pretty much the only stretch of time we had that consistent disruption/pressure. Haven’t had great personnel on the dl over that time, but we also haven’t developed or made use of guys in that time. I hope hall and thomas focus on the dl and disruption while jy runs coverage. we’ve seen hall run some brilliant front concepts when he’s had the horses.

Pretty much 2 guys being used to not have legit guys get hurt throwing.....He will get some bad guidance tho and waste a good portion of his summer waiting...doing a workout here...or there...maaaaaybe a mini camp or go to an OTA...and at same time earn zero dollars....and that be that...show up in 2027 2 yrs delayed and behind in development Or he sucks up his pride and is up here post labour day...gets on the PR and starts to learn things...maybe get on roster back half of yr and then can be a legitimate participant in 2027 camp as a possible QB 2 candidate....

Let's be honest....the NFL hasn't exactly beaten down his door. A couple workouts to stay in the good graces of his agent probably. For the life of me I can't believe he can't see the forest through the trees yet. Does he seriously think he's going to be the first CIS QB to crack an NFL roster, in what...like a hundred years? someone is blowing sunshine up his arse and he is eating it with a spoon, and that is unfortunate.

Pass rushing does require development. Especially in the CFL. You will see flashes of disruption without it, but the skill gap for most guys' pass rushing is huge. That's a big part of why DL get paid, and DBs don't. I do agree the promise is very strong with Jenkins, Jaworski and Bailey. And to an extent, DL who want to excel have to put in a lot of extra work themselves in the off-season. Coaching DL is a very highly sought-after skill set, and the NFL has been focused on cornering that market for a while. We don't get polished rushers with good size and athletic ability coming up here anymore. Mostly we get raw guys with a ton of talent/athleticism that need to be moulded into something special. And a few higher polish guys who either lack a lot of size or athleticism. In Jake We Trust

TC the media was pretty negative about how raw he was. But he did perform very well in his preseason look. If it wasn't for that pre-season game, he never would have gotten another NFL call.

I think he showed some really good stuff in NFL TC. That being said, he is undoubtedly a project and anyone thinking he is our starter next year is really optimistic. I hope he is because that would be something, but I would be shocked if he were ready and that is presuming he comes here this year first.

At the pro level they have to perform. DE, DT shouldn't require much for development. We just had crap recruiting in these areas. In one game we saw more promise out of Jaworski and Jenkins than any of the garbage we've recruited at DE over the past several years. I don't mean to crap on the young DEs over the years, but anyone we brought in was either unable to get home, or unable to play the run. The DTs were slightly better but certainly nothing worth keeping around as starters. I just don't think our recruiting was looking for a typical DE, seems like they favored a tweener type that just wasn't working for us.

You have to tho look at the talent and competition he was competing against tho in the CIS and the speed of the flow..and how quickly he can process things...its a huge gap from there to just NCAA ball..let alone pros...hes proven nothing And in all honesty...based on his appearance and many a player..even really bad ones get looks...some several on just that alone. The fact he held down zero weeks on any PR with 32 teams in the NFL..many with utter garbage as their 3rd on depth chart...let alone PR tells you something... U ready my mind and beat me to the punch! If he was truly legit hed have played prep ball in HS down south at least his senior yr and would never been on a CIS field

Reading a Canadian D is a much easier transition to make than making the transition to reading a high-level D. How many D2 QBs come up here and succeed, or are blue-chip prospects even? It's very rare. The competition gap is gigantic, which is why people question his abilities. Because the talent gap from the CIS to ncaa is even more massive.

Yeah he has an intruigin skill set and appears like he could be multi faceted..some inside stuff with 3 ends and Ceresna...I could see him also off the edge as a jack type on 3 man fronts and at times dropping into the low flats..

You know you (we all) prob could make this happen. That’s a suggestion they likely wouldn’t laugh at. Give me Woli. Give me local bands. Give me dogs and frisbees.
